"I had a serious issue with puppy stains and was uncertain if they would come out. Patrick and his partner pretreated them with a special enzyme spray, and it started to draw the stains out right away. The carpet wasn't drenched and dried in 24 hours just like Patrick said it would. Very reasonably priced as well. I especially appreciated that Patrick followed up with me this year to see if I needed any services, as I have used Matrix before and will continue to whenever I need to. I highly recommend Matrix!"

"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Fire damage restoration can take as little as a week to repair minor damage, but a full property renovation after a major fire can take longer than a year, including time to get approval for the work and get your contractors paid through your insurance company. Overall, it’s always best to talk to your insurance provider and your repair team about your individual situation to get the best estimate.

Smoke damage will not go away on its own, but with professional remediation and restoration, you can return your home to its original condition after a fire. Trained smoke restoration professionals can eliminate smoke damage, which can affect areas of your home that are hard to see or access, and restore or replace smoke-damaged materials.

The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

Smoke damage remediation time will depend on the extent of the damage, but most remediation takes between one day and one week. Homes that require significant material restoration will take longer than homes that only have minor smoke damage to clean. A smoke damage restoration pro can estimate how long it’ll take to get you safely back in your home.
